Why do all bees around your garden have so long noses, SL? I have never seen this sort of bees here. :) :) :)

Fantastic shot !

Thanks Everyone he was very obliging and stayed there hovering for a bit...
Kat i grow loads of plants for the long nose bee as they are a bit fussy over what they feed on....

Lol. I thought so :)

;-))

Never seen one of these before....what plants attract these
SL....mores to the point do they live up here in Scotland?

never seen these before, fab shot :)

they like Honeysuckle or Aubrieta, any long trumpet flower really, but honeysuckle is their fav.. they should be every where Scottish but they are rarer now....

Thanks Beverly :-)

SL- If they like Honeysuckle most of all, as you said, then it is intriguing how this plant got its English name :)

which name Kat, i've heard of a few ~ Honeysuckle, woodbine, goatleaf ~

I think Kat means the "Honey" in Honeysuckle.?

But I think that is because the nectar in Honeysuckle is said to taste of honey though Katarina.

Ahh i see cheers Pp, i'm having one of my moments :-))

...I meant "to suck the honey"...Honeysuckle...

I see..Katarina. We saw the bees sucking the honey and named the plant thus.?

You do not need to do that. Generations before might do it, Pp :)

Lol..The bee looks like Gonzo from the Muppets

:-))

Its a nosey b? Had look at all your pics I missed..all great SL :)

Thanks Pixi :-)

Brilliant photo Slad , well done for capturing it so well :o))
